CUTTING WEAR

Comes about when hard surface asperities or hard particles that have embedded themselves into a soft surface and plough grooves into the opposing harder surface, e.g., a journal.

A sliding type of bearing having either rotating or oscillatory motion and in conjunction with which a journal operates. In a full or sleeve type journal bearing, the bearing surface is 360° in extent. In a partial bearing, the bearing surface is less than 360° in extent, i.e., 150°, 120°, etc.

OIL RING

A loose ring, the inner surface of which rides a shaft or journal and dips into a reservoir of lubricant from which it carries the lubricant to the top of a bearing by its rotation with the shaft.

THRUST-RADIAL BEARING

This unit has the ends of the babbitt bearing extended radially over the end of the shell. Collars on the rotor face these thrust pads, and the journal is supported in the bearing between the thrust collars.

CLEARANCE BEARING

A journal bearing in which the radius of the bearing surface is greater than the radius of the journal surface.

ABRASIVE WEAR

Abrasive wear is caused by hard particles such as ash deposits, metallic particles or catalytic fines from the cracking process of the fuel oil. These hard grains wear down the surface of cylinder liners and rings by continuous ploughing and scratching.
With higher levels of abrasive wear, the surface displays vertical scratches, the size of which depends on the dimensions of the particles involved. These particles can also affect the sides of the rings as they jam in the ring groove, thereby causing "pitting" of the surface. Harmful particles normally enter the engine via the fuel and careful attention to the fuel cleaning system is therefore of utmost importance. abbrasive wear pic
